All your components have gathered together beautifully at the table…from the candlelit details of your straw turkey, to pilgrims to beautiful script plates and copper mules! I need to brush up on my Turkey 101, I didn’t know that tidbit about the color of snood turning red or blue. 😉

Thanks Mary…I didn’t raise turkeys for food, but I simply liked having them among the other fowl on our ranch and farm.
We had Call ducks (they were like miniature white ducks, so cute), guinea (better than any watch dog), Toulouse geese (could get mean if not worked with while young), Beautiful peacocks (males are majestic, females claim to fame is iridescent green under their chins), Domestic White ducks and of course Buff Orpingtons chickens (fresh brown eggs every day) and white leghorn chickens (white eggs). No nutritional difference between brown or white eggs.
When one included the Santa Gertrudis and Black Angus cattle we bred and sold, The horses we had for pleasure, various cats and dogs….we had quite a menagerie. I miss them now that I am a city girl.
thanks for stopping by.

Yes, change is good, and your table is lovely! The white turkey can always grace the kitchen table, LOL, if that would make him feel better. I like the rustic touches of straw and your salad plates are super! Happy Thanksgiving!

Tell those turkeys, change is good!! Because your table came out lovely!!! I like your worries about the straw turkey with the real candles, my father was a fireman- he would never let us actually light the candles on the table. It was fun getting the turkey facts straight from someone who actually knows her turkeys!!

I think my Tom turkeys had a crush on me …either that or they knew the hand that fed them because they would follow me around protectively. LOL But, they did chase my children and grandchildren and peck at their shoes, etc. They would spread their tails out full and lower their wings to the ground which produced a loud fluttering noise. I called it their Bravado, but the kids called it mean. haha
Thanks for your kind comments.

Loved your commentary. I think the birch like candles really made your table pop. The script plates are fabulous and adding the copper mules was perfect. I enjoyed how your table came together and learned so much about real turkeys. Very interesting.

ha ha, you really were talkin turkey! Fun stories, and all the tables look fabulous. Your straw turkey is so cute, and I do understand your concern about a straw turkey with candles! Love the Indians and the copper mule mugs, Very Thanksgiving festive!! Have a wonderful time!

How fun to raise your own fowl. Your table is lovely. The plates are so special with the scripted words. Loving the copper mules. The pilgrims are a perfect touch along with the turkey. Candlelight is awesome. A pleasure joining you on this blog hop. have a fabulous weekend.

Thanks Linda, I fell in love with the salad plate script also. We are so fortunate and thankful for each day we are given. I have such fun on these blog hops and the inspiration is endless. thanks for stopping by.

Kari, your tablescaping commentary was funny. Truth be told, those of us who love our dishes (am I preaching to the choir here? yes, I think so) probably all go through similar conversations as we mix and match our things. I bought those same leaf placemats this year, only in the paler tones, which I used in my table for this hop. I love your table, and the test run with the candles proved a success with your choices.
Happy November!
Oh, and the wattle? I became laughingly familiar with that term when Ally McBeal was on tv….the character Richard FIsh was strangely attracted to women with a neck wattle, lol.

Attracted to the neck wattle? How funny Rita….I don’t believe I ever watched but a few episodes of that sitcom but lets just say I can identify with it. Happy November back at you. thanks for stopping by.

Gorgeous, warm, inviting–who wouldn’t love to sit down to this Thanksgiving table? Love your brilliant mix of components, along with festive items–pilgrims, turkeys (and I adore the turkey trivia), pine cones, leaf motif, and pumpkins. Candlelight adds exquisite magic. What a joy to play with you this week!

Thanks Michael Lee, I have had such fun blog hopping with you and all the others. The inspiration and creativity are beyond measure. Anytime I can play with dishes, I am happy. thanks for you comments.

Kari, What a warm and inviting tablescape. I love how you incorporated the copper mugs that have been so popular this year, and the different Thanksgiving inspired messages on the plates. This warm glow of this table was so inviting, and there were so many beautiful elements throughout the centerpiece like the birch candlesticks! I am thankful to have you as part of my tablescape blogging tribe.

thanks Chloe….and thanks for hosting the blog hop. You are the perfect hostess and I love your videos on making wreaths and swags, etc! You make it look so easy. I am proud to be called one of your tribe. 🙂

I love how you decided to change things this year and about the conversation you had…ha ha! Your table is very pretty for Thanksgiving and I’m so glad to have met you. This is my first time joining Chloe’s blog hop of amazing bloggers.

Love that you let your straw turkey take center-stage this year! You coordinated all your other elements wonderfully with him for a very pleasing colour scheme. The pilgrim pieces, corn, birch candles and decorative items all look terrific. The pretty salad plates with the script writing on them are perfect for the occasion. Love seeing the evening views too!

It is good and very good! Mr Turkey looks right at home in the center of your table and I hope his turkey friends aren’t jealous. The native american and pilgrims are so perfect for this setting and it all came together beautifully. It’s been a pleasure hopping with you again.

Kari, change is good just hard sometimes! I love the birch-like candles and your straw turkey is the perfect change! I enjoyed your commentary, funny and informative! The salad plates are perfect! Blessings~

Thanks Sherry, I can hardly wait for Thanksgiving so I can enjoy the turkey dinner. It is one of my favorite meals and I like to make it often. I also enjoy telling a story, it is the kid in me I guess. Thanks for stopping by.
